If my Republican colleagues are so supportive of shutting down the Department of Education, they should bring the measure to the House floor. I will never vote to take away critical education programs that our children rely on.

When used as a scalpel, tariffs protect domestic manufacturing. When used as a chainsaw, they lead to skyrocketing prices. I led a letter urging President Trump to be more targeted in his approach to steel tariffs so he can support American industry AND working families.
I want to hear from you! Visit my website to share your story of how you've been impacted by this administration’s executive actions. budzinski.house.gov/posts/seekin...
On this day in 1965, thousands of demonstrators began their 5 day, 54 mile march from Selma to Montgomery to demand their right to vote.
Their courage and determination changed history for the better and continues to inspire us to fight for the future we want for our nation.
There is no reality where Republicans can reach their proposed budget cuts without crippling Medicaid — devastating our hospital systems and the more than 200,000 people in #IL13 who rely on Medicaid for lifesaving care.
The upfront costs of tools & equipment should never be a barrier for someone to start a career in the building trades. My Tools Tax Deduction Act would allow workers to write those expenses off their taxes, helping more folks get into good-paying union jobs!
Happy World Down Syndrome Day! Today, we celebrate people like my nephew Noah — who bring so much value and joy to our families and communities. Let’s keep working together to build a more inclusive world!
This afternoon, President Trump signed an executive order to dismantle the Department of Education. Rural communities, working families, and educators in my district and across the country will suffer because of this reckless action and I stand with them in opposing it.
I was thrilled to visit Lincoln Middle School in East St. Louis today and lead a lesson about how our food is grown!
President Trump and House Republicans have proposed the largest Medicaid cut in American history to give big corporations an even bigger tax break. I met with @seiu.org to hear directly from healthcare workers and folks on Medicaid how devastating these cuts would be.
My team is hitting the road today for traveling office hours! They’ll be in Carlinville, Virden, Monticello and Staunton & ready to answer all your constituent services questions!
Today, I hosted a roundtable with @govpritzker.illinois.gov and local agricultural leaders to talk about the real, local impacts of funding freezes, grant rescissions, layoffs, and other actions by the Trump Administration. I’ll always fight for Illinois farmers.
Tariffs on foreign steel can protect workers and American manufacturing from bad actors like China. But any approach to tariffs must be thoughtful and targeted. My colleagues and I stand ready to work with President Trump on a strategic approach to boost American competitiveness.
Do you have questions about how my office can help you navigate the federal government? Visit traveling office hours tomorrow to chat with a member of my team! Details below:
Too often, the upfront cost of tools is a barrier for folks interested in pursuing a career in the building trades. I’m proud to lead a bipartisan bill that will allow apprentices and construction workers to write off the cost of their tools on their taxes.
I’m excited to announce that the 2025 Congressional Art Competition is open for submissions! High school students in #IL13 can submit their art to my office for a chance to have it displayed in the U.S. Capitol! Learn more: budzinski.house.gov/congressiona...
I voted NO on the House Republicans’ budget proposal. I will never cut a deal to fund tax breaks for billionaires by putting Medicaid at risk for 216,167 people in #IL13 – including 90,675 children and 18,000 seniors.
Happy National Ag Day! 🌽🌱
Farmers in Illinois and across the country feed and fuel us, and I’m proud to be a partner to them. That’s why I’m convening a roundtable tomorrow to hear directly from our community on how they are feeling in these uncertain times.
President Trump is rolling back executive orders that ensure the workers who build our roads and bridges get a fair wage and safe working conditions. As a proud union member, I strongly oppose this move to undercut labor standards on federally-funded projects. laborcaucus.house.gov/media/press-...
I introduced a bipartisan bill with Rep. Abe Hamadeh to help veterans pursue careers in good-paying fields like health care, engineering and computer science. Let’s get this bill across the finish line!
